The tiger is my all time favorite animal. This animal is extreamly endangered. I onced watched a show that provided figures saying that in 10 years they will be gone- forever. There are five different types of tiger subspecies. I have above the Bengal Tiger and the Siberian tiger. Bengal tigers are found in the forests along the Indian sub-continent. They are the most common tiger subspecies. They have four different colorations; the normal orange and black, white and black, all white (also called Ghost Cats) and the rarest coloration is the golden color. Siberian tigers are the largest of all the Big Cats. They live in forests of the Amur River. This is between Russia and China on the east coast. There is often snow here so they have longer furr to stay warm.

I'm sure many of you know that wolves hunt in packs. This helps them to take down very large prey. In the pack there will be only one breeding pair of wolves. These wolves are the Alpha wolves, and will breed for life. If one would pass the other would likely never breed with another wolf. There are three different subspecies of wolves. The Atric, the Timber, and the Red. Atric wolves are normally white but are sometimes also black with very few having some grey. They have very thick fur to be able to live a place where the figures are normally below 0. The Timber wolf is normally a greyish color with some wolves being black or a little brown. They are the most common due mostly thanks to Yellowstone National Park. Though once endandered, they are making a big come back. They often live in very large packs, with some packs being over 20 animals. The red wolf is the smallest of all the wolves. They are very different from most wolves in that they normally travel and hunt alone. They have brownish red coats and are often mistaken for coyotes.

The cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world. It can run over 70 mph. Their whole body is built for speed. Wide chests for breathing, long legs for few strides, widened paws with curved claws to dig into the ground to stop from slipping, and a long tail for balance. There are five different subspecies of cheetahs. However, the differences are very small. There is a very different look some cheetahs have. They have larger spots, stripes, and spots that merge into swirls and stripes. These cheetahs are called King Cheetahs, but it is only a genetic mutation.

Much of it's diet is desert vegetation like grasses, roots, berries. This is how the Fennec Fox gets most of its water. It also hunts rodents, birds, and insects. The Fennec Fox is considered the only species of fox which can properly be kept as a pet. It can be kept in a domestic setting similar to dogs or cats. In fact the United States and Canada there is a relatively established community of Fennec Fox owners and even breeders. **
